Wizards: Tales of Arcadia has built a reputation that precedes it, and right now it's all available in Australia on Netflix and Foxtel Now, and in the US on Netflix. Lena Headey leads a cast that brings something genuine to every episode.

Part of the current wave of streaming-era originals, Wizards: Tales of Arcadia follows a path that stands out in a crowded field. Merlin’s apprentice joins Arcadia’s heroes on a time-bending adventure in Camelot, where conflict is brewing between the human, troll and magical worlds. Lena Headey and Alfred Molina lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2020.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, Wizards: Tales of Arcadia is a strong candidate — fans of Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia will recognise the sensibility immediately. It works alone or with company.
